Lovely original A-1 Pilot. I searched here in the Uk for an original but finding an unmessed example proved very difficult or too costly.

Oh I can believe, I had a nice Luftwaffe fliegeruhr watch years ok but it wasn't 100% complete due to the Russians seizing the factories in 1945 and making their own parts

You won't see such a beautiful A-11 often... I bought mine from Brice (Pilot), I highly recommend it.

Thank you for sharing. Looks good amd cool packaging. What are your first impressions?

 

[s4rmark]

I am quite happy with the watch although quite pricey at £275 and I got hit with £57 import duty and vat.postal tracking wasn’t that good and I was quite worried as I heard nothing for weeks and when I called Royal mail they said it looked as it had gone missing . all ok In the end though. Timeworn didn’t seem to want to know once it was posted.I did think it was a bit strange as there was only 1 review on their website.don’t think I’ll buy from them again.

I’ve been wearing the Buzz A-11 a lot. Thought I’d try it with a vintage pigskin band:

Can anyone help out, I have a Suunto Core Allblack, once again the strap has broken, does anyone know of any alternatives

Many Special Forces revamped theirs and use these straps… As did the Marine Nationale and their Nageurs de Combats on Tudor‘s

 

[blackrat2]

Thanks for that I am looking at how I can adapt the watch to fit a different strap, I think there is a kit

German U boat Steel ?
That’s a new one I haven’t seen before. Last week I was at a knife show in Atlanta Georgia and Boker Knife Company had pocket knives made from the steel of
1. The Tirpitz Battleship
2. An ME109
3. A P-51 D Mustang
I’m waiting for a knife or a watch made from
A Tiger Tank . You just know it’s on the drawing board somewhere.

Boker Tirpitz for sale - Blade HQ

The Boker Tirpitz knives have a Damascus steel blade made from the largest warship ever to launch from the German Navy. Put history in your pocket!

Hello B-Man2,

i think i have to provide additional info, because my description could be missleading.

the watch is not made from steal from an WW2 Uboat or steel that has been broken off or reforged from an submarine.

It is made of the steel that is used to make the Type U212 Submarines, but the steel from my watch has not been part of a submarine. I think because of this the watch is called U212.
